Dispute Management

Position

Robert has worked in our Dispute Resolution department since qualifying at Freeths in 2010. He has a broad range of litigation experience and of cases covering a varied range of different legal areas. Robert has acted for a wide breadth of clients, from private individuals through to large commercial organisations (including the public and not for profit sectors). This means that he is well placed to understand not only the needs of his own clients, but, significantly, those of the other parties to the dispute.

Robert is a keen advocate of developing case strategy at the initial stages of litigation and providing a clear route to achieving client outcomes. Robert can provide helpful and practical advice from the outset, with a particular focus on how to resolve disputes in a cost-effective and timely way. He is sensitive to the needs of each client, focussing on the commercial and practical realities of the dispute.

Having specialised over recent years, Robert’s case load now primarily focuses on disputes concerning contracts, estates, land, probate and trusts. He has dealt with a number of large contractual disputes, property disputes (including jointly owned property) and he has a busy caseload in relation to disputed estates, lifetime gifts and disputed trusts.
